Eldritch Tokens Conversion

Hi! September is one of my favorite events because of the Harbinger storyline, but lately I've been noticing some things that might benefit from a change.


While eldritch tokens are only collectible via Harbinger quests, I tend to rack them up rather quickly. With the current setup and prices of the Harbinger shop, this leaves me either with hundreds of leftover tokens, or a hoard full of the same bases and decor that continues to grow each year. I know many players use September as an opportunity to grind JB for ochre gnawrocks or GMO cows, but JB can be difficult to find in explore, and only a few are obtained through quests.


My suggestion is to implement a conversion option between Eldritch Tokens and JB. This would be highly beneficial to the players who are not interested in the items in the Harbinger shop, or have difficulty grinding all day to get enough JB. When considering the effect on the market for gnaws and cows, a sample conversion rate may look like:


1 Eldritch Token = 1 Jewel Beetles


My other suggestion, if a ET to JB conversion is not implemented, would be to update the Harbinger shop by either increasing the prices to make the items within more rare and valuable on the market. Another option would be to add an additional applicator or special use item, priced higher, that would encourage players to spend their ET in the Harbinger shop instead of converting them or having them sit unused.


Overall, I recommend implementing both suggestions. A conversion option for the players who are grinding for gnaws and cows, or do not want to purchase items in the Harbinger shop. As well as a higher priced special use item or applicator in the shop, to encourage players to spend their ET there. Implementing both may prevent the market for gnaws and cows from becoming overrun, while still increasing player satisfaction with the event shops and currency.


Please let me know if you have any other suggestions or changes below!
